[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 460776, member: 1550"] Hi there. I'm sorry you are having a hard time. Sometimes it's best to know exactly what is going on in order to make things better. Most of us think of ODD as a secondary diagnosis to a bigger one. If your kids can not accept "no", can not take a five minute time out and are violent toward each other, you, etc., throw things etc...there are hidden problems going on. Children who do not have problems do not do these things. I've raised five to age 18 so far and have one who is 15. This is not normal childhood behavior and it isn't your fault. Whether or not you want to see what is wrong is your option. I recommend a NeuroPsychologist for both kids. Since they don't go to traditional school, you don't know how they interact in a mainstream evironment. My guess is they would have a lot of trouble. in my opinion they need help now rather than later. Eventually, the issues will have to be faced. in my opinion it won't be solved by behavioral methods. I think, in that department, you are doing what you should do. But our kids rarely fit a tidy mold...traditional discipline usually doesn't work for children who are "differently" wired. JMO. Take care. And good luck, whatever you decide to do :) [/QUOTE]
